Marcus Maute is lead author of the Agentic Finance Report (2026). He represents TensorX in Switzerland, working at the intersection of sovereign AI, digital-asset infrastructure and regulated finance. With more than two decades across financial-services transformation and institutional DeFi, he focuses on making agent-native financial infrastructure deployable within regulated environments. He is based in Zürich, which has become the densest concentration of applied AI research in Europe, with Google's largest engineering centre outside the United States, research or engineering operations for OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Meta and Apple, and ETH Zürich and the University of Zürich supplying much of the talent behind them.

An assistant proposes. An agent acts.
A boundary that exists only in a prompt is not a boundary.
The technical deployment takes weeks; the governance architecture takes months.
The infrastructure is ready before the institutions are.
What no supplier can deliver is the mandate itself.
